Oh my Gowd! Was reading TeleText and just found out that Countdown presenter Richard Whiteley has died yesterday/today from an emergency heart operation. This is so sad and I can't believe it has happened. He died at Leeds General Infirmary.
He had recently signed a contract to present the show for a furhter 5 years along side Carol Vorderman. The show is currenly shown on Channel 4 as it is pre-recorded.
RIP Richard Whiteley 2005-1944. You shall be missed.
Adios "twice nightly Whiteley"... anyway, shouldn't that be 2005-1944?
it is now, its really sad tho
shocked and sad too, gone are those days when you could come home in the afternoon sit down with a nice cup of coffee and biscuits and watch countdown and forget about the miserable day youve had at work for a while.
farewell Richard Whiteley
hey thx for pointing that out :) .. fixed it...
